Indirect light painting with paint? Yes, you can do it! In this video I will share the technique I used during my blacklight photoshoot with Marly van den Bosch (PUNCHINGPICTURES).

Settings: Aperture F10, ISO 250, Shutterspeed 1 sec.

Light painting: A photographic technique in which exposures are made by moving a hand-held light source while taking a long exposure photograph, either to illuminate a subject or to shine a point of light directly at the camera.

Marly and I worked with blacklight (ultraviolet light), and PaintGlow UV reactive face paint. Since UV reactive face paint glows in the dark in blacklight, and emits light, I used the paint as a light source. Hence: indirect, or reflective light painting.

I hear the snide voice of Exurb1a through the phone. I've never before heard such a cold voice directly aimed at me. Sure, I've had arguments with people before, but hearing this tone come out of someone's mouth, is definitely new to me.
